It is an excursion to Gobustan National Park and Museum, about 40 miles (64 km) southwest of the centre of Baku on the west bank of the Caspian Sea, to see the ancient petroglyphs. Gobustan is assumed one of the cradles of civilization, as ancient petroglyphs have been identified as belonging to the 12-8th century B.C. In addition to the Gobustan, we will also visit en route active (bubbling) mud volcano site. On the way back we can tour Bibi Heybet Mosque, a recreation of the mosque with the same name built in the 13th century but completely destroyed by the Bolsheviks in 1936.

Inclusions: National Park fees, Bottled water, Local guide

Exclusions: Lunch, Hotel pickup and drop-off

This was a fantastic tour, and I enjoyed every moment of it! The sights truly are incredible - different than anything you will see in most places around the world. Everyone in the group was great, and the guide was kind, knowledgeable, and fun. I enjoyed spending my day on this tour, and I was sad when it was over. I want to especially mention how great Zaur is - there is no one better in Azerbaijan with whom to spend time and see the city. He is amazing! I very strongly recommend this tour.

We had an 8 day customised tour organised by Azerbaijanguide.az. From the first email reply I received everything was handled very well in a professional manner. Itinerary was designed according to what we wanted to see and do and we had a brilliant time. Our driver and guide, Farhad, was with us all week and was very accomodating. Artunj made sure our tour went without a hitch and was on hand via phone or WhatsApp whenever we needed to contact him. All in all we had an amazing time exploring (being shown) Azerbaijan and would highly recommend Artunj and his company if you decide to visit this interesting country.

Excellent remote walking tour of the old city of Tbilisi with Bacho via internet. The technology worked well and Bacho has perfect English. Bacho is a friendly and very well informed guide. It was wonderful to get a taste of this beautiful and interesting looking city in the only way possible in current circumstances. Georgia is now very high on my list of countries to visit when circumstances allow and I will not hesitate to contact Bacho and Georgian holidays to help plan my trip. Highly recommended. Many thanks. Mike Davey England

Very nice Resort with Spacious Rooms and very good staff. Apart from the Ski and Experience of snow and cable car, it also offers good ambiance for all kinds of groups.
